Unemployment compared with food stamp usage.
You can see that food stamp usage didn't go up as fast as unemployment, there's a kind of a lag. The peak for food stamps was 2013, the peak for unemployment was October 2009. That's 4 years from the peak of unemployment to the peak of food stamps.
In the 1990s the peak for food stamps was 1994. The peak for unemployment was June 1992. A lag of 2 years. The recession was much shorter.
In the recessions in the late 1970s and early to mid 1980s the peaks were 1981 and 1983. The unemployment peak was 1982. However there was no real going down of food stamps at that time, people went on, and stayed on, even though employment rose.
So what kind of employment were people getting under REAGAN that meant that food stamp rates hardly went down?
Also the last recession saw a lag, and the rate of food stamps is starting to drop as people start getting jobs.
there is no SEVEN YEAR LAG
on anything
you are simply a clown
